Who are the key figures in the #Sewage crisis, and where are they now?
With anger stoked by #Channel4’ s drama #DirtyBusiness, we look at what has happened to some of the main players
Sandra Laville
Fri 13 Mar 2026"Water companies have been in the public eye for the wrong reasons again recently. #SouthWestWater was in the dock pleading guilty to supplying water unfit for human consumption, while the regulator fined South East Water £22.5m for repeated supply failures that affected more than 280,000 people over three years.
"As the full scale of the sewage pollution scandal has been revealed to the public over the past six years, key figures working for the regulators and the #privatised companies have been heavily criticised. Channel 4’s drama Dirty Business has focused attention on individuals at the heart of the scandal.
"The Guardian examined what some of the main characters are doing today."
[...]
"Sarah Bentley
Bentley was the chief executive of #ThamesWater from September 2020 to June 2023. She joined from Severn Trent and promised an eight-year turnaround for the company, but left with immediate effect after three years following a public outcry over the discharge of #RawSewage into #rivers and missing targets on pollution and sewer flooding."

#ThamesWater 's Legal Showdown: £3 Billion Bailout Battle Unfolds
#England ’s largest water company seeks a financial lifeline amid towering debts and creditor conflicts.
August 10, 2026
"Thames Water's predicament not only highlights its operational fragilities, plagued by outdated infrastructure and rising public dissatisfaction over #pollution incidents and escalating water bills, but also amplifies its strategic importance in serving vast swathes of London and the surrounding regions.
[...]
"The unfolding creditor clash not only underscores the intricate dance between legal, financial, and operational challenges but also places a magnifying glass on the fragile underpinnings of the UK's privatized water industry."

Time to revisit the TV expose #DirtyBusiness
Almost ALL sewage spills are illegal.
Greedy water companies dumping sewage rather than fixing their systems and the Environment Agency turning a blind eye.

Fine private firms out of business!

@xtaldave and I are watching #DirtyBusiness on Channel 4. It’s every bit as horrifying and excellent as expected.
But at one point, Jason Watkins drops a casual remark about the fact that the Royal Mail has the ability to prosecuted people. Then he looks directly at the camera, drawing a direct line between two scandals.

#Channel4 #DirtyBusiness @[email protected] Water companies industrially polluting our environment and putting human health at risk backed by a weak compromised #EnvironmentAgency Water Industry must be rigorously regulated NOW. Nationalisation cld be the only effective remedy.

Dirty Business exposed the human cost of profit before public health. Our water system won’t be fixed with tinkering. It needs public ownership. I’ve asked my MP to attend the MP drop-in on 17th March & hear that message directly from sewage campaigners, please do likewise: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-your-mp-to-meet-with-dirty-business-activists 📝 #UKPol #UKPolitics #Petition #DirtyBusiness #Sewage #WaterPollution

Well so much for an early night, I've just watched all of 'dirty business', a three part docu-drama about the terrible state of the UK water industry and the pathetic state of its Government regulator.
Thatcher, Cameron & Truss, who'd think they'd be the bad guys?
I feel conflicted about some of it. If those sewage plants were as terribly maintained as shown then while its obviously bad that the water company is not maintaining things properly its also terrible that the inspectors are not inspecting. Whether the water company or the inspectors are private or publicly owned that fact doesn't change. Who poiices the police? Smarmy Eton turds who've escaped untreated but polished, that's who....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_Business_(TV_series)

Oh dear god… only watch #DirtyBusiness on Channel Four if you’ve got low enough blood pressure and can handle the sight of children being killed for shareholders’ profits.

Watching Channel 4s #DirtyBusiness about the absolutely shit state of our water industry, and whilst rage-researching one of the most egregious offenders, Sir James Bevan, I spotted a petition calling for removal of his knighthood, so if you've watched this (or if you haven't but you're already sick of the state of our water industry) why not sign it? https://www.change.org/p/remove-sir-james-bevan-s-knighthood #waterindustryregulation #SewageScandal

I’m watching Dirty Business and I’m not sure I can morally pay a water company any money again until they’re no longer privatised

Additionally, I have found a very useful website called the Sewage Map which tracks where sewage has been discharged: https://www.sewagemap.co.uk #DirtyBusiness

Dirty Business really opened a lot of eyes to what these water companies are doing. Heather Preen should have still been here but her future was cut short at only 8 years old! That is not a way to die at all. 💔
Thank you Channel 4 and everyone involved in the show. #DirtyBusiness
